I actually think that is part of it, though often it isn't as explicitly about helotry. Sparta appeals with the promise of elitism, that the 'warrior' can be elite, look down on their fellow citizens. There is a deep emotional appeal to it; like many awful ideas, it is seductive
I certainly agree that is a factor there. I was just adding that I think that element, while important and presence and connected, is often sublimated in modern Spartaganda - it is the often unrealized subtext that has to be made text in refutation.

Ah, yes. Sorry. I intended the comment as a 'yes, and' rather than a 'but.' My wording was poor and unclear. Alas twitter's lack of an edit function. Lessons for next time!
